Krugman Defeated By Comments on Own Blog

Paul Krugman (is Professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He also won a Nobel prize in Economics, further demonstrating the bankruptcy of Nobel Prizes, exemplified also by the Nobel Peace Prize given to President Obama. Krugman is an advocate of the failed Keynesian school of economic thought embraced by progressives.

This guy is sooo smart that his blog commenters have effectively and regualrly shredded his economic pontifications. As quoted in the American Thinker article by Fred Douglass (please read it):

By July, [2010,] Krugman had lost his "Battle of the Blog." On July 23, Latrina commented, "Who is this Sean from Florida? He takes everything that [the] Professor [says] and shreds it, piece by piece. He shouldn't be allowed to post his comments on this blog since he seems to be winning all the debates. We progressives need to stick together and embellish our talking points without someone from the outside pointing out fallacies in our ideology."

Krugman has closed down his commenters, preventing them from providing refutations longer than three inches. No such restriction on himself, of course.

If you can't beat'm, shut'm up. That is the progressive philosophy. Plenty of room for ideas as long as the ideas are progressive ones! No dissidents allowed!

A podcast by James Taranto exposing one of Krugman's many strange views is here explaining how Krugman disagrees with ... Krugman.
